Flex Alerts

Conserving Power with Flex Alerts. What Are They and How Can I Help?

Summer heat waves combined with natural-gas curtailments may cause rolling blackouts in LA County, including Pasadena. Caltech is working with local utilities, Pasadena Water and Power and the Southern California Gas Company, to minimize the impact to the Caltech community. Over the summer, Flex Alerts may be declared as a call to conserve. Voluntary reductions of non-essential loads during a Flex Alert can help us avoid blackouts.
